Author Notes: Baked beans are almost a staple with barbecue and ham...and I often serve them with roast pork. I've had them with apple but have never made them and so I thought "why not try pears?" These are not real saucy and only slightly sweet and will be wonderful with our grilled pork chops tonight. - inpatskitchen - inpatskitchen

Food52 Review: This recipe showed me for the first time that fruit has a role to play in baked beans. Since baked beans usually combine sweet and savory, it's a natural leap. I modified the recipe to suit my time frame, substituting canned canellini beans for the dried beans. I also omitted the bacon for my son, the vegetarian critic, although I was concerned that it might disrupt the recipe's balance making it too sweet. It turned out sweetly savory and suited my sweet tooth too. - luvcookbooks - luvcookbooks
